Getting Into the Christmas Spirit

I’m not normally one to start getting into the Christmas spirit before Thanksgiving. I used to be. But, I got tired of seeing Christmas decorations popping up immediately after Halloween. Now, I feel like I see Christmas stuff even before it’s officially Fall. It’s usually pretty annoying.

My daughter, now 5, is a die-hard Christmas fan. Everywhere we play Pandora radio, she’s always asking for Christmas music. Year-freaking-round. I normally fend off the requests with “Mommy’s phone doesn’t play Christmas music before Thanksgiving.” On Halloween night, however, she made the request and I decided to concede. My husband and son were both home sick, so I was getting a Mommy-Daughter trick-or-treat night. Time alone with my little girl is so rare, so I wanted to boost the positive vibes … let her know what a special night it was for us (even though I sorely missed my boys). And, I’ve been playing Christmas music in the car ever since. Okay kid, you won this year!

Since I’m ready to go shopping and get my Christmas decorating on, I want to share lots of things to help you get into the Christmas spirit too. I’ve rounded up a bunch of holiday posts from a Facebook blogger group I’m part of called Mom Blog Tribe. In this big holiday roundup, we’re sharing gift ideas, shopping tips, and holiday stress management ideas. Make sure to thank this lovely bunch of ladies for their hard work and, if you visited their post, let them know I sent you!
